FREDERIC A. JEWETT, OF GRAFTON, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR OF ONE- HALF TOCHARLES L. LEONARD, OF SAME PLACE.

HORSE AND CATT'LE CLEANER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 354,145, dated December14, 1886.

Application filed July 1, 1886. Serial No. 206,767. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, FREDERIO A. JEWETT, of Grafton, in the county of\Vorcester and Commonwealth of. Massachusetts, have invented certain newand useful Improvements in Horse and Cattle Cleaners; and I do herebydeclare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description ofthe same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a [0part of this specification, and in which Figure 1 represents a verticalcentral section through the cleaner and its handle on line a: m, Fig. 2;and Fig. 2 represents a bottom view of the completed device, showing theform and arrangement of the cleaning devices, as will be hereinafterdescribed.

To enable those skilled in the art to which my invention belongs toconstruct and use the same, I will proceed to describe the same indetail.

My invention consists in the combination, with a back provided with asuitable handle, ofa series of endless corrugated cleaners arranged inconcentric circles on the workingface of the bark or part opposite towhich the handle is attached, as will be hereinafter described. 4

In the drawings, the part marked A is the back or frame part, to whichthe handle or strap 13 is fastened by means of rivets C. In thisinstance the handle B, is leather, andthree rivets, C, are used on eachend to fasten its ends D D to the metal back part A. I prefer to makethe back or frame part A from tin or 5 sheet metal, and to stamp orpress it out in a suitable mold, so 'as to form the back A and the outercourse of cleaning-corrugations, E,

in a single piece, as indicated in the drawings, while the innercourses, E, are made from tin or sheet-metal strips corrugated and bentinto 40 the proper form, with the ends lapped and then their upperedges, a, soldered to the under side of the back part A.

It will be understood that any desired number of endless courses ofcorrugated cleaners 5 E may be employed, and that, if desired, all thecourses E may be made from tin or sheetmetal strips and then soldered tothe under side of the back A; or, still again, the inner courses may bestamped or. pressed out with backs, same as outer course in thisinstance, and then placed in position, and all the backs riveted orotherwise securely fastened together.

It will be observed that the edges 1) of the cleaners E are made withoutteeth, and that 1 sharp corners are not found, thereby obviating all thedifficulties and objections resulting from cleaners heretofore in usewherein teeth and sharp corners are found. I

Having described my improved horse and cattle cleaner, what I claimtherein as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. An improved horse and cattle cleaner consisting ot'a rigid horizontalmetal back or frame, A, provided with a handle or holdingstrap, B, uponits upper side, and a series of continuous corrugated smooth edgedcleaners, E, of different sizes, secured to its under side andrelatively arranged, as and for the purposes set forth. 7o

2. The combination, with a back piece provided with a handle, of aseries of combbars secured to the back piece and provided withcorrugations, for the purposes set forth.
